Associate Prof. Dr. Emanuela Bianchi has been assigned to the Institute of Theoretical Physics (E136) at the Faculty of Physics as Associate Professor of Soft Matter Theory since 1.12.2024.

Emanuela Bianchi comes from Rome and studied physics at the University of Rome La Sapienza (summa cum laude). She obtained her doctorate there in 2009 with a dissertation on "Equilibrium behavior of patchy particles: thermo-reversible gelation, phase separation and self-assembly". After a six-month stay at the Vienna University of Technology (Institute E136) on an Erwin Schrödinger Fellowship, an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship brought her to the Heinreich Heine University Düsseldorf for about a year from 2009. The successful acquisition of a Lise Meitner Fellowship enabled her to return to the Institute of Theoretical Physics at TU Wien in 2010. From 2012, an Elise Richter Fellowship enabled her to extend her research activities at TU Wien. In 2016, she moved to the University of Vienna as a Senior PostDoc and habilitated in Italy in 2017 in the field of "Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics". From 2018, she was also employed as a permanent researcher at her home university, the University of Rome La Sapienza (at the Institute for Complex Systems, CNR), where she has been associated as a "Primo Ricercatore" since 2023. The acquisition of a career position on the topic of "Theory of Soft Matter" in 2019 brought her back to TU Wien. She has now successfully completed this by qualifying as an Associate Professor.

Emanuela Bianchi's scientific home is now the Institute of Theoretical Physics. There she works on the development of nano- and micron-sized colloids for the production and optimization of intelligent materials and the understanding of equilibrium phenomena in biological systems.
